He cautioned against divisive narratives propagated by certain factions and urged volunteers to counter misinformation with facts. Highlighting historical inaccuracies perpetuated by Opposition parties, Annamalai called for a concerted efforts to educate voters, especially first-time voters, about the ground realities.
